maybe they should take an economics class
Rep. Jayapal, her progressive posse lay out list of their demands for Biden
U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and other far-left progressives in the House of Representatives are setting the groundwork for a Democrat victory in November.
Should Democrats retake control of the lower chamber of Congress in elections this fall, progressives are ready with an agenda that serves as a clear message to President Joe Biden whom they feel has failed to appeal to progressives and young voters.
“If the progressive base is not excited and enthusiastic, and if they don’t feel like we are trying to earn their votes and that they are important, then I think the horrific idea of a second Donald Trump presidency could become reality,” Jayapal, the progressive caucus chair, told NBC News. “We cannot afford to let that happen. And we won’t.”
The agenda includes seven policies such as creating “world-class” public education, increasing the federal minimum wage to $17 per hour by 2028, strengthening unions and guaranteeing overtime pay.
“It’s really about worker power and raising wages and lowering costs for poor people, middle-class Americans and the working people across this country,” Jayapal said.

These people actually believe the US is responsible for the whole planet. If they want to protect the people they can start with the border.

She can ask for whatever.
TBH, Trump should use her as a way to tell businesses “Support me or she’ll frick you harder than California.”

She is a mighty ugly woman. WA should be ashamed of electing such an ugly woman.

What an overall poop show.
Nothing on that list can be achieved, considering the overall stupidity of the Biden Administration.
How about Trump wins, Republicans take House and Senate and start chasing illegals back across the border then imprison the actors on the January 6 committee?
That's a start .....

They don't have a clue how business works....
"Let's lower cost by raising labor cost" shows they are a bunch of lying morons.

They want to double minimum wage but decrease cost of living. Dumbasses just need to look at California and Newsom’s $20 minimum wage for fast food workers and the resulting price hikes at those places. It all gets passed on to the consumer eventually

1. Uh... how? By giving everyone more money for free... which will.. cause inflation which will.. increase the cost of living. Or does she just want a magic wand waving sort of thing declaring prices for everything, including housing, lower?
2. Which will increase prices which will.. increase the cost of living.
3. Uh... what? How? Define "Justice".
4. Huh? Like with giant laser or something making sure nothing from outer space gets hear us?
5. What does she consider to be "working democracy"?
6. How?
7. There are ways to achieve that... but she won't like them. It involves holding people responsible and things like that. And teaching stuff other than gender identity, whitey is bad and the like.
